	NeMO Overview - Bob Embley, Chief Scientist Brown/ROPOS Cruise Our fourth NeMO expedition has been very productive, with a record number of dives, experiments, and samples resulting in the most efficient cruise to date. The vents continue to evolve and change three years after the eruption in January, 1998, but at an apparently lesser rate than in the past years. During these expeditions, we have collected more than 1000 samples and experiments for chemical, biologic and geologic studies. Now the task is to analyze these data and publish the results. More...

	NeMO 2001 cruise summary Ed Baker, Chief Scientist Wecoma/CTD Cruise The NeMO 2001 Water Column cruise fulfilled its mission of monitoring hydrothermal activity along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, obtaining data and samples from three separate geologic areas. Our principal focus, of course, was Axial Volcano, site of the NeMO Observatory. Our cruise this year was the fifth since the eruption of January 1998 reinvigorated hydrothermal venting along the southeast border of the caldera. More...

R/V Wecoma - Missy Holzer

Missy Holzer and the R/V Wecoma.

Land Ho! It's Day 17 and the NeMO CTD Cruise is coming to an end after completing 42 casts and 14 tow-yo's, and recovering 5 and deploying 4 moorings in the search of hydrothermal activity at the Juan deFuca Ridge. After today, life on board the R/V Wecoma will be a memory, or in my case a vivid memory of a wonderful experience as the NOAA Teacher at Sea for this cruise. It was dream come true to be able to come out to sea and be above an area where the Earth's plates are diverging, as well as to be a part of the science team investigating this area rich in hydrothermal activity. The experience would not have been so impressionable if it wasn't for the patience and delightfulness of the science staff and crew who were there to answer all kinds of questions, and to show me the procedures for many of the operations in the science lab and around the ship.
